Bio-activated Nut butter
What is Bio-activated Nut butter?
Bio-activated nut butter refers to a process where organic nuts are soaked, cleansed, and gently heated to enhance their natural flavours, improve digestibility, and unlock nutrients. At Plant Prana, our bio-activation method honours nature by using filtered water and pink Himalayan salt, resulting in smoother textures and richer tastes without compromising purity.
Why is it important that your product is bio-activated?
Bio-activation is the heart of Plant Prana’s process, transforming nuts and seeds into nutrient-rich, easily digestible foods. By soaking, sprouting, and heating our organic ingredients, we unlock their innate nutrients, including proteins, vitamins, and minerals, while enhancing their natural sweetness and promoting easier digestion. This process, developed by our founder, a biomedical scientist and nutritionist, ensures that every spoonful delivers maximum vitality and flavour, aligning with our mission to empower mindful living.
How is Plant Prana nut butter made?
Plant Prana nut butters are crafted through a careful bio-activation process: organic nuts are cleansed and hydrated in filtered water, awakened to reduce natural inhibitors, and lightly heated for optimal texture and preservation. This blends ancient sprouting techniques with modern science, ensuring each jar delivers pure, vital nutrition.
Are Plant Prana nut butters organic?
Yes, all Plant Prana nut butters are made from certified organic ingredients, sourced ethically to maintain high standards of purity and sustainability. We prioritise unpasteurised, non-GMO nuts to preserve their natural essence.
Do Plant Prana nut butters contain any additives or preservatives?
No, our nut butters are 100% pure, containing only organic nuts and a trace of pink Himalayan salt. There are no added sugars, oils, or artificial preservatives, allowing the natural flavors and nutrients to shine.
Are Plant Prana nut butters raw?
While not strictly raw due to gentle heating in the bio-activation process, our nut butters preserve much of the nuts' natural enzymes and nutrients. This light baking enhances flavour, digestibility and safety without high-heat roasting.
What is your product sourcing policy?
At Plant Prana, we source only sustainable, unpasteurised, and raw organic nuts and seeds. Our ingredients are carefully selected to ensure they are of the highest quality and lowest in Aflatoxin, supporting both your health and the planet’s well-being. This policy is rooted in our mission to craft products that are pure, vital, and environmentally responsible, fostering a deeper connection between you and nature.
What makes Plant Prana’s products unique?
Our bio-activated nut butters are crafted with a unique process that sets us apart. By sprouting and baking organic, unpasteurised nuts and seeds, we enhance their nutritional value and digestibility, creating a product that’s both delicious and nourishing. Our commitment to aflatoxin-free, additive-free products ensures purity. At the same time, our sustainable sourcing and eco-friendly packaging reflect our dedication to the planet.

Is Plant Prana nut butter keto or paleo-friendly?
Yes, with no added sugars and high healthy fats, our nut butters are a great fit for keto and paleo lifestyles. They provide natural energy from proteins and fats, supporting low-carb eating.
How can I use nut butters in recipes?
Spread on toast, blend into smoothies, drizzle over oatmeal, or bake into cookies. Their smooth texture makes them versatile for both sweet and savoury dishes, adding nutrition and flavour effortlessly.
Is your activated nut butter suitable for people with allergies?
Our nut butters are crafted from a variety of nuts and peanuts, including almonds, cashews, peanuts, pistachios, pecans, and walnuts, which means they are not suitable for individuals with nut allergies. However, we do not add any other ingredients, including common allergens, to ensure a clean ingredient list. Please note that our production facility handles soy, and our shared ovens may contain very trace amounts of gluten.
For specific allergy concerns, we recommend reviewing the ingredient details and allergen information available on our product pages at plantprana.co.uk. You can also contact us at namaste@plantprana.co.uk for personalised assistance.
All our products are completely dairy-free and egg-free, making them suitable for both vegans and vegetarians.
How should I store your nut butter?
To maintain their freshness, store our bio-activated nut butters in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, we recommend refrigerating them to preserve their creamy texture and rich flavour, especially if you aren’t going to consume them for over 3 months. Proper storage ensures you enjoy the full vitality of our products with every use.
What is the shelf life of nut butter?
Our nut butters have a shelf life of up to 24 months when stored properly, as indicated by the best-before date on each jar. Unopened products can be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place. However, we recommend refrigerating them after opening to extend freshness and maintain quality.
How do you ensure the quality of your products?
Quality is at the core of Plant Prana. We conduct rigorous testing for contaminants, including aflatoxins, heavy metals, and other impurities, to ensure every jar is safe and pure. Our bio-activation process is meticulously monitored via our Hazards and Critical Control Points (HACCP) plan to maintain consistency, and we source only the finest organic ingredients. This systematic approach ensures that our nut butters deliver exceptional nutrition and flavour.
Are your products tested for contaminants?
Yes, all our ingredients undergo thorough testing to ensure they are free from contaminants like aflatoxins, heavy metals, and other impurities. Our commitment to purity means you can enjoy our nut butters with peace of mind, knowing they’re crafted with your health and safety in mind.
What certifications do your products have?
Our products are certified organic by the Biodynamic Association registration number 781, ensuring they meet stringent standards for quality and sustainability. Additionally, our products are certified by The Vegan Society and are HACCP certified, which underscores our commitment to health and wellness. These certifications demonstrate our commitment to providing pure, high-quality products that you can trust. We are a registered food business with the South Hams District Council.
Aflatoxin
What is aflatoxin?
Aflatoxin is a toxic substance produced by certain fungi that can contaminate crops, such as peanuts, posing significant health risks if consumed. At Plant Prana, our products are aflatoxin-free, having undergone rigorous testing, cold storage and our Bio-activation process to cleanse them of toxins and impurities. This commitment to safety means you can enjoy our nut butters with confidence, knowing they’re pure and safe.
Do you test each batch of peanuts for aflatoxin or do you test from time to time?
We test after each new lot of peanuts and from time to time. We make sure the suppliers of all our supply an aflatoxin test to show zero or well under the legal requirements for aflatoxin.
